does this mean PS4 will have 4K out of gate?

Does this mean 4K game is next generation?

I suppose this is a means to get support for the next generation of displays. 4ks have been popping up at conventions.

Maybe, won't be used for games though.SaltyMeatballs

what if it is :O

noob question, whats 4k?

Hmm ok, i dont see the point of it. All games not even do 1080p/60fps...HDtv not supporting that resolution either :?

Apparently only for still pictures, so pretty much a useless feature to make it seem better than the competition.

yeah i suspect that will be. but i am not surprising if we get some 4K game next generation

4K res will NOT be the res on the next-gen consoles. The performance drop would be just too big. 1080p will be the future standard and that will remain so for quite some time.

I'm personally fine with 1080p with good AA and AF. It's not like 4K screens are accessible or spread.

Then consoles will either be the size of a couple of cinderblocks stacked together and cost near $1000 or we'll be taking a real step backwards in graphical detail.

Hope it bodes well for 4k support (at the very least) in the next iteration of consoles, but 1080p is here to stay for quite awhile. And honestly, that's fine, performance hits due to 4k support would be intolerable and it would jack up costs for everyone involved. Still though, 4k is sa-weeeeeeet.

Its just still images, but if it means PS4 can support it in gaming then we're looking at a very pretty next gen.

PS4 games won't run in 4K, I can guarantee you that. It could only happen if you could somehow connect two consoles together and each would render the graphics. It was said that GT5 will support connecting four PS3s for a ultra-high res, but it didn't happen as far as I know.

4k STILL IMAGES.

So, if you take a picture on your future 4k camera, the PS3 will be able to display it on screen. How exciting, isn't it, TC?

if I bought a TV in the 65" or up range, I would like to have 4K.

1080p is fine on my 46" though.

I want to see PS3 games run that res.=p

Its to allow the PS3 to work natively for still images with Sonys range of 4K projectors. If you need to ask the price of a 4K projector you cant afford one, the sxrt400 comes in at around $70,000 and if you want 3D you need a convertor or a second 4K projector!

What's next, the PS3 will support 4D in 2012 as well? :lol:

Do 4k Televisions or monitors even exist? lol

So Sony is still trying to sell the myth that hardware power can be added via firmware upgrades? foxhound_fox

To be fair they did OC the PSP with a firmware update.

You could do that 4 years ago on custom firmware. Sony didn't really do anything.

What the hell's 4K? :? BTW, link's not opening for meFunconsole

Are 4K tv's the same as 2160p tv's. If so....

PS5 at the earliest.

Unless they want to sell 5 million units...

And if consumers woul want to pay $300 per game.

And $100,000 for a TV.

I think the bigger reason for giving the Ps3 4K support is the reaction, rather than the support itself.

Because the Ps3 can't do anything in 4K and no one even has the screen to see it anyways.
